Looking back at the last 10 years, the data centre industry as a whole has made impressive performance improvements. Our research shows that data centres today are 80% more efficient than those built with technology from 10 years ago, and with a significantly reduced cost/watt. However, if current digital trends progress, society will demand more computing power over the next decade, and data center strategies used in the past will no longer be adequate. Where will the next 80% performance improvement come from? This presentation will discuss how software and other technologies may be the answer.

The dawn of the data-driven world is upon us and leading financial institutions are harnessing the power of the IoT to redefine the way business objectives are met—but how? Join Schneider Electric in a discussion on how to achieve success in the face of a hyper-connected world. Schneider Electric will walk thru several customer’s IoT journeys, from defining their challenges and redefining their data center ecosystems, to selecting, implementing and integrating software management solutions that improve day-to-day operations. This session will offer real-world advice on achieving success through software management solutions.

The retail industry is fighting for survival and some argue its future is in question as it competes with Amazon. As retailers respond with technology to enhance the in-store experience, their dependency on IT and its underlying infrastructure is changing. Is this phenomenon driving the concept of a ‘mission critical edge’? This presentation will discuss some of these technologies and the evolution of micro data centers.
